I plan to end my Facebook account before January 19. I like the format and would like something similar in the Fediverse. Also, I need a good Facebook alternative I can show people when trying to convince them to leave Facebook.

So what is the best Facebook alternative as of 2025? Frendica, Diaspora or Pleroma? Or something new and promising?

Facebook's selling point is that your friends are already on it. If you want to convince random people, you have to show them what they'll be joining.

By that measure, there is no fediverse equivalent. You might be able to convince your friends to join for their favorite content creators, but if anything they're probably on Mastodon.

Well, that's why I'm asking.
